Yes, it should be possible. I would strongly recommend doing _something_
over NFS to your Alpha (like, /usr) so that you can have quite a bit of
swap space set aside for the X server - it likes to take a lot of memory.

Install the base system _only_, then 'apt-get install' only enough to get
a X server installed and running.
